For Men

Daily Devotional for Monday January 29, 2018

Scripture:

2 Corinthians 4:16 (NASB) Therefore we do not lose heart, but though our outer man is decaying, yet our inner man is being renewed day by day.

Observation:

Change... not the coins in your pocket, but the change that takes place within your physical body. It was at the end of the work shift when I noticed that my strength was no longer the same. Maybe old age setting in or working too hard, but there definitely was a change taking place within my body. Today's verse speaks of not losing heart although our outer man is decaying yet our inner man is being renewed day-by-day. That's when it happened, a simply call from a loved one, and I felt renewed. It was one of my daughters sharing some wonderful news that happened to her at work. The warmth within my heart for her began to change my attitude. I felt rejuvenated. Spending time in God's Word, times spent in His presence can rejuvenate you the same way. Taking a moment to renew our inner man can lift our spirits; so, we don't lose heart. If you find yourself a little down because of some change in your life, try a little worship music, or time in God's Word, or just sit in His presence and be refreshed. Change can be a good thing especially when it's a God thing!

Application:

Personal Application: Continue spending time with the Lord daily. Sow righteousness and reap the fruit of God's unfailing love.

Family Devotion: Read this chapter with your family. Ask them if anything spoke to them and discuss. Pray with them.
